Discussion: Paragon Studios Announces City of Sidekicks

What mudkips joke? on DA? I thought that was from 4chan's /fail/ board...

"People who take offense to IC actions OOCly need to learn to differentiate between the two... Or change their damn meds."

Devs don't hate henchmen, it's just going to take a while to get them implemented! The way I figure:

* You start with 100 henchmen who are -20 to your level
* You send out your henchmen to fight heroes, starting with the weakest ones
* You send increasingly more and more powerful minions until you finally deploy your ultimate minions
* After your ultimate minions are defeated, you face the hero yourself (and die)

I wish The Jar was still around.

There were also at least two "Team Seeker" icons (I had one of them). Proud to say I have no idea what they meant.

My favorite is switching the mouse/key board on the computers, or if someone is away from the computer: printscreen, hide icons, change back ground to the screen shot :-).

LOL, that's pretty darn good. Going to have to try that one day.

Actually, that's what gave me the idea.

And it doesn't appear to be anm April Fools joke. The Team XXXX was, but you can still give out llamas. I llama'd quite a bit of the Screen Shots & Fan Art section, including you!!

It's fairly easy to understand why the rumors are confilicting, once you know the full story.

I've been told by a reliable informed source inside Paragon Studios that those who pre-order will get the in-game speedo costume part. Unfortunately, males who attend HeroCon will have the actual speedo in the swag bag and are required to wear them during the Costume Contest. Judges will be War Witch, Avatea, EMPulse, and JLove.

They are still debating whether to provide barf bags or blindfolds in female attendees swag bags.

I got that--thanks! But what does it do?!

If you knew where to put it, and the format/resolution requirements, it was easy on Win98/98SE to change out the logo on the loading/bootup screen (with the blue bar at the bottom.)

Especially if you merely copy/renamed the Norton "Your @#%/You've a virus" screen in there.

I had no guilt doing that to my teachers in high school

Look cute? And earn a cape when you get 10 of them?

I don't know if Mel Brooks is gonna give us that one or not.

Oh they sure do... I mean Castle + PvP ? Someone there has a real sense of humor :'D

Okay it didn't work out so well that time... but who cares. x'D

If you thought this was good, you should see the "Visual Sound Effects" they did for April Fools Day a while back.

Probably because it has a cool factor that lasts about three seconds. I wish the Devs had spent the time wasted on this to update the websites with info instead.

eh, save the drama.

It's a new tech that's being demo'ed like crazy in industry circles so it's likely relatively little time or effort on the dev part... Mostly I've seen it with Avatar promotions. All their toys used the tech, as did specially marked coke cans, etc. The fundamentals would've been completed just in a routine tech eval, then cleaned up to have a unique and notable trick for the convention. It didn't cost you a single iota of info.

I am so amazed at the immaturity of some people on these forums. Seems you can't let your opinion be known, in a non-rude manner, without getting flamed for it on the Reputation side as evidenced when someone posted this on my Rep:

"Ka-pow, more neg-rep for you, Captain Entitlement."

I may be wrong, but I do not believe anyone can make an honest arguement that the CoH website does not need some serious updating. Heck, they don't even list updates on the main website anymore, you have to sift through the forums to find them. What info is listed on the main website is lame duck even.

In the last week alone I tried to get two people to try the game out while talking on the phone with them. Both were actually kinda excited about the game until they saw the CoH website and the COMPLETE lack of information turned them off. They did like the look but as one of them told me:

"The website was pretty and all, but it was kinda like eating a ham and cheese sandwich, without any ham or cheese in it. Just no substance."

I'm not asking for complete powers descriptions and the numbers to match, but how about a general overview of the powers? Updating the enemies might be nice too since that has not been done in several issues. Maybe even zone descriptions and a list of TFs/SFs. As things stand now, I will never send someone to the website hoping to entice them into joining the game. Unfortunately since most of my friends are a long plane flight away, that probably means getting people to join via word of mouth will be impossible too.

As for the new tech thing with using a webcam to change a symbol on paper to a character on your computer screen, well I am sorry but it has about a 3 second coolness factor. I am pretty sure that most people that see this will never try it. Of those that do, I think very few will do it more than once. Maybe I could have gone into more detail, but really, why did I need to.

Put simply, Neg Rep people for being rude or deliberately misinforming others, but not for having an opinion that differs from yours.

eh, save opinion.

Why, you're right, that sounds quite reasonable...

Hey, this post is really rude. Should I give it negative reputation?

Also, I'm calling dibs on the name "Captain Entitlement" for a character. >_>
